BANK OF NIGERIA

Dear Beneficiary,
We are very much sorry for not have responded to you since all this
while, I am Mr. John Aboh the Director of International Remittance
Department of this Bank, my Boss, Mr. Jacobs M. Ajekigbe, the Managing
director/CEO of this bank is now on compulsory leave and all power
have been vested on me to order for all international payments VIa wire
transferdue to reported cases of corrupt practices in other Nigeria Banks
including the Central Bank of Nigeria,
Meanwhile,The Federal Government has revoked/cancelled all power vested
on those banks and has appointed our bank only and not any other bank
(First Bank of Nigeria) to make all foreign payments.Again,Be informed
that the Federal Government have approved the release of part-payment of
$7.5M(Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand united state Dollars) out of
your total funds, which has been in this bank for many years unclaimed
because my boss Mr. Jacobs Ajekigbe,In collaboration with the Governor
of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) have refused to tell you the truth on
how to claim your fund this is because they has been using the interest
accumulated from your fund every year to enrich them self without your
knowledge.
I want to help you pull out this fund to your bank account using the
easiest and the quickest method which have not been made known to you
before. By this method, you will open a domiciliary account with this bank
(First Bank of Nigeria), your fund would be lodged into this domiciliary
account and your fund will be paid in directly to any bank of your choice.
After the transfer, you will confirm the fund in your bank account within
5hours the same day. No Cost of Transfer (COT) and no stoppage from any
Government departments as the transfer will be done within the bank alone
and it is very safe.
The method which was introduced to you before is the Telegraphic Transfer
(TT) for which confirmation was 48hrs, because of the time factor,
petitions could come from various organizations stopping your payment and
asking you to pay huge fee which would be difficult for you to pay so that
they can benefit from the huge interest your fund generates while still in
the Bank.
This method is not safe for you because it is not done within the bank
alone as information of the payment would be sent to the Central Control
Unit (CCU) of the Federal Ministry of Finance and office of the Accountant
General of the Federation.
As a good Christian, I have nothing to gain by keeping your fund, I want
to assist you receive your fund before my boss resumes office. You have to
follow up and work with me now, so keep this very confidential because of
fraudsters and impostors who go about presenting various bank accounts in
order to divert another beneficiary's fund.
your details and present/valid account co-ordinates and amount to be
claimed so that we do not transfer your fund to the wrong Bank Account
Awaiting your quick response.
Sincerely,
Mr. John Aboh
